This is part one of my endeavor to make my 2021 Boom BD125-2 more highway capable by replacing the front sprocket and truing and balancing the rear wheel. Things don't go exactly to plan and I run short on time.
They make so many different cheap cool looking Chinese 250cc motorcycles. What sucks is they're just not quite fast enough to be a usable long distance or daily driver motorcycle. If they were just a little bigger CC and had a 6th gear. Say a top speed of 85/90 with a 6th gear so you could cruise at 65/75 in a lower rpm. Able to travel at hwy & interstate speeds, it'd be a much more practical all-around bike. Being carbureted, simple, easy to work on, would also be a plus. A bike that can only top out at 55 mph means, every time you get on a busy 2 lane 55 mph HWY. You're gonna be holding up traffic & have a bunch of pissed off drivers behind you, waiting for a chance to pass. Or if the car in front is only doing 45, you don't have enough power to get a chance to pass with oncoming traffic.
This bike has a 4-speed transmission. A 5th gear would be nice. A 6th gear isn't really necessary for me. I don't think that every motorcycle necessarily has to be capable of interstate speeds. I think a lot of riders take motorcycles and their specs too seriously. If you add too much practicality to a motorcycle, eventually you've just got a car like everyone else on the road and where's the fun in that? I just enjoy being out in the wind on two wheels even if its only at 45mph, but I'm still looking forward to cruising at 55mph after my sprocket change.
That was the wrong thing to do. now to get the brake arm back on, one has to hold the brake casting part in one hand, so the brake shaft dose not go in, o one mite get Luckey but.
